Before Making Your First Direct Connect Call

For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer Service representative. See “Activating Your Phone” on page 3.

Register and Activate Direct Connect

1.Confirm the Direct Connect feature is currently activated on your account.

2.Press Menu>Settings>DirectConnect>UpdateDC.

This validates your Direct Connect service with the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.

3.Verify that Direct Connect is now active:

The icon should not be visible at the top of the screen.

Important

When the Direct Connect feature is active,

 

both the On/Off and Net Guard features are

 

disabled (Settings > More... > Data).

 

 

Note

If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates

 

that Direct Connection is no longer active on your

 

account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with Direct

 

Connect functionality.

 

 

About Your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number:

1.Separate numbers (DCOnly) — Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your wireless number). It will be made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).

2.A single number (Mobile+DC) — Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts, choose DCOnly for the phone type.
